It's reassuring to know you can always count on someone to let you know how
ignorant you are.

Let me clarify...the motherfu**er I'm referring to is the guy who started
it. You will agree that a single person has to start something like that,
won't you? For every malevolent bit of software we encounter, there had to
be one person who wrote it.

Needless to say, the account is no longer.

I may be ignorant, but you could use a little more work on your politeness
skills.

Why don't you learn something about the Internet, and how viruses are
spread, before opening your mouth and showing us all how ignorant you are?

Viruses hijack the user's address book and sends copies of itself to
everybody in it. There is no "motherfu**er" - this is a result of 10,000s
of infected computers.

It's this account that's getting hit and just start on one
of my others. I have 8 accounts.
This "pho" account is being hit every minute.

"I HOPE" that at sometime it's going to stop.

This is a big attack on usenet users, but I doubt the news media will pay
much attention unless it gets out into the general public. Usenet is a tiny
corner of the internet nowadays, and most computer users are completely
unaware of it. So the reporters are unlikely to get a first hand sample of
the spam attack, the general public doesn't start asking why the hell they
have all this spam in their mailboxes and the Internet itself doesn't slow
down a noticeable amount.

There's been some speculation on the newsgroup news.admin.net-abuse.email
that these worms are designed to be taken over by a spammer who will later
send out thousands of spam e-mails from an infected machine. In this
particular case, the worm may have been targeted at newsgroups in which
there are technically oriented users who trace the spam back to an ISP and
report the abuse. Seems plausible, but I'm just repeating someone else's
speculation.

I prefer Bob Evans Breakfast Links.

Much fresher than 5 Months old "ham-in-a-can".

If you can find the newish "smoked flavor" SPAM, give it a try.

Sliced thin and fried, it tastes like pretty fair bacon. And it keeps a lot
better on the pantry shelf...

Try the Mail Washer www.mailwasher.net After using it's bounce back
feature for awhile, it will stop. That fake microsoft update with a virus
attached is great to bounce back!!

And after you bounce back a few thousand of them, you may very well find
that your ISP has identified you as a SPAMMER and will cancel your account!

Bouncing back does absolutely no good, clogs the Internet even more, and
could cost you your ISP account.
